In more and more areas of life, the virtual world is overriding real life. This means that, in addition to data from billions of networked medical devices, archives and objects, information on individual life situations is increasingly available.
In 1956, the Dartmouth Conference, the first scientific conference on artificial intelligence (AI), was held in Hanover, New Hampshire/USA. For decades, AI systems lived in the shadows. Without large amounts of data, their breeding ground was lacking and, due to limited computing power, the possibility to use them. There is little shortage in either today. In 2018, one billion megabytes of data were generated per second worldwide. In ten to twenty years, computers should be able to mimic the performance and functioning of the human brain 1:1. In 2017, the United Arab Emirates established its o
